MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dense regular connective tissue is mainly made up of type I collagen fibers. It is found in areas of the body where large amounts of tensile strength are required, like in ligaments, tendons and aponeurosis. The collagen fibers are densely packed together and arranged in parallel to each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dense connective tissue proper is composed of a higher density of fibers, which may be regular (with parallel fibers such as that of tendons and ligaments) or irregular (with multidirectional fibers such as that of the pericardium), or elastic (with significant embedded elastin such as that of arteries).

Detailed explanation-3: -Collagen fibers are the most abundant type of fiber in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The collagenous fibers make up the majority of dense irregular connective tissue. These collagen tissues are less ground than loose connective tissue.
